SPORTS
OF THE DAY

Louise Hunt
Wins Contest
of Distinction
Basketball, the sport of the
day, has been in the limelight
with the tournament going on.
The results up to this point are
as follows:
Juniors, 55; Sophomores 24.
Lela Butts is high scorer for the
Juniors and Alice Tuttle for the
Sophomores. In the second game
the Juniors again took the lead
with a score of 26-4, with Eunice
Andrews “hooking” the basket
most frequently.
In the Freshman-Sophomore
game Faye Nichols and B. J.
Shuler helped make the 49-10
score. It was the Freshmen who
chalked up a 42-31 score over
the Juniors in the first game and
also a 21-13 score. (Thanks goes
to Catherine Carpenter, say the
Freshmen.) Despite the tricky
shots of “Lefty” Pugh the Fresh
men beat the Seniors 36-7.
Credit also goes to “Lefty” for
making the 17 points out of the
48-10 score between the Seniors
and Sophomores.
Many of our stars went to
Carolina last week to a play day
between Duke, Carolina, W.C.,
and other neighboring colleges.
Those representing Meredith
there were B. J. Shuler, Faye
Nichols, “Lefty” Pugh, Eunice
Andrews, Catherine Carpenter,
Harriet Neese, Mildred Hoyle,
Hope Hodges, Peggy Thornton,
and Jeannette Atkins.
Softball season will start on
Monday, March 15 if good
weather permits. All fans should
begin practice now.
Congratulations, Miss Cun
ningham, for getting your na
tional basketball official’s rating
renewed at Duke last Saturday
by passing a written and practi
cal test in basketball officiating.
The Meredith Hoof-Print Club
( formerly the Equitation Group)
met Wednesday, March 3 to set |
up a constitution. Officers chosen j
to serve for the remainder of
this year were B. J. Johnson;
president; Peggy Patrick, vice
president; Pat Blackmon, secre
tary-treasurer; and Mr. West,
adviser.
In these difficult days it’s not
always easy to mix theory and
practice; at least that’s what we
hear on every hand, but Louise
Hunt has proved it can be done.
Using the “theory” from her
business English class last semes
ter, Louise has become the win
ner of a nation-wide contest
sponsored by Time magazine for
students in journalism and busi
ness English.
The contest was to determine
the actual pulling power of ten
sales letters which, results show,
students are better able to judge
than teachers. After all entries
were in, the sales office of Time
sent out the ten contest letters
and tabulated their effectiveness
as results came in.
If, any time within the next
year, you want to know “what
in the world interests women”
(one of the themes of the letters
being used by Time now), per
haps Louise will be able to give
you some information. Her prize
is a year’s subscription to Life,
Time or Fortune.
ELSIE CORBETT
SMOOTH ... a composition in textures—the harshness of the stone, the
open roughened patterns of the tree-bark, the sheer wool of the Easter
suit, and the silken sheen of the hat and bag and gloves with the petal
softness of the flower bouquet, spell . . . EASTER and SPRING for lovely
Elsie Corbett.
(VCPA To meet

theirs for the evening, and they
made it a place of fun and frolic

ported that pillows would have
made an excellent addition to
their skating attire. |
